Is there such a thing as too much work.?

[DHTiling]

Do you ever think that work is so mad that there is too much on... or shall i say taking too much on..:mad2:


God i need a break.. roll on xmas hols..

 

[peteablard]

I think you do need to say no sometimes. I left home at 4am on Wednesday morning and got back about half an hour go. Off at 4 again Monday morning til Friday night then off to Guernsey the following Monday working 10 nights straight. Got a call today asking if I could do a couple of days work which I was trying to fit in......... Had to say no, all work and no play gets me too much ear ache of the wife!! Roll on December, booked in for 3 weeks work with a local builder who is a great fella to work for!

biggest lesson of 2012 for me is learning to say no. It's just very hard to do

Too right is it... i kinda think of the old saying " take it while ya can " but it is getting stupid..

I've had to turn away 3 bathrooms and a full kitchen supply and fit as they wanted it before Xmas, Just cannot do it in timescales allowed. Hate turning it away but there are only so many hours in a day.

I get really stressed when I have too much on but equally start to fret when the phones not ringing ,when I do loads of high end stuff I wish for the straight forward easy work and when I get the easy stuff it bores me and I wish for show piece work I guess I am just never satisfied lol

It will not say on my headstone "I wish I had spent more time at work!"

 

[The D]

Some times I blow a job off and them think to my self you are an idiot you should have done that one and then I take a job on and think to my self you are an idiot you should have blown this one off .
The long and short of it is I am an idiot.

Not enough days in the week for 3 of us,im so so busy

 

[bugs183]

You can't win can you eh!
This is my first full weekend off since August, and that was a massive booze up in Berlin, so that was no holiday!
I tell friends that i feel guilty for having a day off and that i rarely have a full weekend, they look at me like i'm insane.
Xmas is crazy so each year i book nothing in foe December other wise it just gets too busy and stressful, i know i can slot things in when the phone rings.
I built my house and i need to work like crazy as it cost too much, so i'm flogging it and then getting back to having fun, i'm single with no kids and i should not be working anywhere near this much!

 

[Bubblecraft]

I'm jammed up to February now & getting at least 2 calls a day for work wanting done before Xmas! It's nice to know there's plenty of work out there for me. I just hate letting down customers as I can't meet there deadlines.

 

[Peter]

Don't know how to say no to work. Since last Friday I was only meant to be doing a 90m floor until now but for some reason ended up doing a 40m bathroom too. An otherwise handy week turned into 7 days straight and a few 13 hour shifts too. Always scared to knock work back as there's often bigger jobs that come off the back of it.

 

[dave l and l]
